Tall story

Man mountain Ivo Karlovic may have departed the tournament but he is still enjoying his new-found fame in SW19.

The Croatian, who caused the shock of the tournament by knocking out defending champion Lleyton Hewitt in the first round, took a wander round the All England Club grounds as the women's quarter-finals got under way.

But the 6ft 10in Karlovic did not get very far very quickly as he was regularly interrupted by curious members of the public wanting a picture with tennis' tallest man.

And showing he hasn't yet allowed fame to go to his head, the genial giant was happy to oblige.

Just friends

Jennifer Capriati was dumped out of the tournament in an enthralling match against Serena Williams, but the American walks away with the prize for best celebrity fan.

Perry cheered on his friend Jenny

Capriati has been watched in every match by Friends star Matthew Perry, who is currently starring in a West End play.

But Capriati was not tempted to employ Perry, a former junior champion in Canada, as a practice partner.

"I don't want my confidence to get down playing with him," she said modestly.

More questions than answers

Silvia Farina Elia took a set from the previously untouchable Kim Clijsters on Tuesday, but you would hardly have guessed it from her post-match interview.

After the briefest of grillings about the match itself, the Italian was asked whether she planned to play for her country in the Fed Cup match against the United States in Washington.

She said she might do, at which the journalist asked if she had ever been to America's capital city.

"No, never," she replied, but that was not the end of it and she was then asked how much she knew about it.

"Not much. Sorry," came the apologetic reply.

Let's hope the Washington tourist board weren't listening.

Graff gaff II

Greg Rusedski's favourite umpire Lars Graff has got himself involved in another controversial moment, this time in the match between Sebastien Grosjean and Juan Carlos Ferrero.

Grosjean was running to collect a Ferrero drop shot but couldn't quite reach it.

The crowd, Grosjean and Ferrero all noticed the double-bounce - but Graff remained silent prompting the Spaniard to gently point out the error of his ways.

Thankfully for Ferrero, Grosjean proved himself a true sportsman and informed the error-prone umpire of his oversight.

And no doubt Ferrero was ****ing delighted.
